Rajeev Khandelwal has sung for his upcoming suspense thriller Fever, which features Casino Royale actress Caterina Murino and Brit beauty Gemma Atkinson who was once dating Cristiano Ronaldo. He will record the promotional version of the song, "Teri Yaad", on July 15.

The original plays in the background in the film and is sung by Rahul Jain. "I'm not a singer but I love singing. My director, Rajeev Jhaveri, and music director, Rahul, suggested that I sing this one and I agreed to give it a shot," says Rajeev adding that it's a difficult song since it doesn't have one rhythm, so will be a challenge. "I've been rehearsing with Rahul who will also be singing with me."

He reveals that he's taken part in several singing competitions when in college and once, the ones he had trained got selected while he was left behind. Now, he sings for his wife and confides that Manjiri is not very encouraging because sometimes he changes the lyrics. "I sang Arijit Singh's "Tum Hi Ho" from Aashiqui 2 for her for the longest time and she still isn't impressed," he laughs, adding that he likes Alia Bhatt and Shraddha Kapoor's voices and Aamir Khan's "Aati Kya Khandala" from Ghulam. "Among the singers I am a huge fan of the versatile Kishore Kumar and Sonu Nigam."
